People were in fact holding it wrong to get the signal to attenuate. The way you had to grip the phone to affect signal was not practical in any way. That controversy was entirely bullshit and only Apple would have ever been dragged for it.

Phones should be made to be held in any way.

Different people, different grips. It should just work.

Other brands manage to do better so why can't Apple with their $1k phone?

It's laughable they still get people to defend that.

And it's not like people are faraday cages. This is basic physics.


IIRC Other brands at the time did not actually do better. They all had similar issues and made similar or different tradeoffs.

The experience of using the butterfly keyboard was fantastic, I agree, but it was definitely polarizing. Some people hated it. At the end of the day, however, the reliability issues were unacceptable.

I've found you can do one of two things to some door this:

1. Turn around and face the other way. 2. Make a visor with your other hand on your forehead.


Which has been obvious since 2015. 11 years later and many of us still can't even convince our own family members that Trump and Trumpism are appreciably different than "the left".

It's wild to me that MVS didn't get picked up everywhere else for their next-gen package managers. Picking up "fixes" automatically turned out to be a boondoggle, if not a security risk. There's no reason we need to write a SAT solver just to manage our library dependencies.


Unused RAM is wasted RAM. If your machine isn't reporting memory pressure and/or the user isn't experiencing pageouts, then the machine is well-suited to the user's workload.


I'd rather my ram go to my page cache, not have bloated apps hoarding it.


But I thought Electron was the future?


What are examples of logs that you're considering IOCs? The picture you are painting is basically that most everyone is already compromised most of the time, which is ... hard to swallow.


I reported the experience on my devices, which said nothing about "everyone".


My favorite NS in a long time. I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to realize who "Elmo" is meant to reference ...


> Yes, we substantially disagree on a contentious policy question.

Ours is not merely a policy disagreement, you failed to provide a reasonable case for violating the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 15th amendments. Indeed, you only seem to respond to comments when you can find a way to nitpick semantics and/or tone.


Let's just stipulate everything you said is true. You do realize that the subordination of German corporations validates the quote you're ostensibly arguing against? Given your framing, German fascists would have loved the scale of cooperation that the American fascist executive branch is receiving from corporations, rather than have to do the difficult work of subordinating them.


The German population[1] was not unwilling; your error is not recognizing that it started with cooperation and grew until all of society was subordinated to the totalitarian state.

There was massive alignment across their society. What they “achieved” would not have been possible any other way.

As someone that abhors the destructive ideologies of that era — and has spent a considerable amount of time studying the history — it’s amusing ironic to be repeatedly compared to the predominant fascist ideology (not that you personally have done this) by people echoing the behavior of the predominate destructive left-wing ideology of the day.

From a historical perspective, it’s not the right-wing that I’m worried about now. I worry about the totalizing, agency-eroding, violence normalizing, and norm-enforcing (thought terminating) “ethics” that have taken firm hold of the left’s levers of power over the past 15 years.

[1] except for the German populations that they literally wanted to murder, of course.


I definitely have worries about far-left capture if/when a power vacuum occurs after the current fascist executive and semi-fascist legislative experience the whiplash of Americans finally pushing back. But you know what? I'll start focusing on that when we get closer to that reality. It's the fascists currently in power that deserve our focus. And you seem to be willing to carry water for them. I assume you don't see it that way, but that's hard to square with some of your other comments.
